  Title Expert public health nursing practice: A complex tapestry Type Journal Article
  Year 1999 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 14 Issue 3 Pages 16-27  
  Keywords Public health; Community health nursing; Communication  
  Abstract The research outlined in this paper used Heideggerian phenomenology to examine the phenomenon of expert public health nursing practice within a New Zealand community health setting. Narrative interviews were conducted with eight identified expert practitioners who are currently practising in this speciality area. Data analysis led to the identification and description of themes which were supported by paradigm cases and exemplars. Four key themes were identified which describe the finely tuned recognition and assessment skills demonstrated by these nurses; their ability to form, sustain and close relationships with clients over time; the skilful coaching undertaken with clients; and the way in which they coped with the dark side of their work with integrity and courage.

  Title Public health nurses in New Zealand: The impact of invisibility Type Journal Article
  Year 2001 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 17 Issue 2 Pages 24-32  
  Keywords Public health; Nursing specialties  
  Abstract This research study examined the role of the public health nurse. Utilising community needs analysis method, 17 key informants and two focus groups were asked questions to determine perceptions of the public health nurse. Findings indicated that participants lacked knowledge regarding the role. Additional findings intimated that participants had difficulty in accessing public health nurse services and that 'knowing the system' was beneficial to receiving needed care. One of the major conclusions of this study was that many facets of care managed by public health nurses were invisible to the communities in which they work. Conclusions suggest that public health nurses need to enhance their service by improving accessibility to services and promoting their service in a more visible manner.
